Anatomy Of A Smear

Rush Limbaugh responds to smear tactics of the smear site Media Matters, a George Soros sponsored operation. Transcript

RUSH ARCHIVE: It’s not possible intellectually to follow these people.

CALLER: No, it’s not. And what’s really funny is they never talk to real soldiers. They like to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and spout to the media.

RUSH: The phony soldiers.

BREWER: Democratic Senator John Kerry is demanding an apology from Limbaugh, whose comments he calls “disgusting and an embarrassment.”

The soldier Rush was referring to was Jesse MacBeth, a soldier who has now been convicted of lying about his service. He was actually never a soldier in Iraq, he was discharged after 44 days in boot camp. As a hero of the anti-war types, he spun tall tales about his exploits as an US Army ranger, and the atrocities our soldiers committed. Jesse MacBeth and other other phony soldiers are darlings of the anti-war movement, which is what Rush was talking about. On September 21, 2007 Macbeth admitted in federal court that he had faked his war record. U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Sullivan declared that Macbeth had been in the Army for just 40 days and had been kicked out as unfit.

Another of these "phony soldiers" is the Private Scott Beauchamp who did not reveal that he was “Scott Thomas,” author of “Shock Troops,” until he was asked to sign a second sworn statement. The National Review printed those defaming articles without fact checking.

Phony soldiers, heros of the leftists.
